Do you literally mean a pop?  At 4:03, it sounds like some sort of
effect applied to a Rhodes where the note is mixed mostly into the
right channel, but decays rapidly into the left, almost as though the
note was clipped.  Compare to the Rhodes in the Star Wars cantina
sequence, without the right-left fade.  Shouldn't sound like a defect,
though, as you can barely make out the same effect several times in
the preceding 15 seconds, where that instrument figures less
prominently in the mix.

As one of those infatuated minions, I can state emphatically that, at
least on the East Coast, I haven't seen any of these `mainstreams' you
speak of rushing over to embrace me.  Oh wait, you meant that
figuratively...

65 days to Katemas, folks.
